PEABODY — State Rep. Tom Walsh dropped off about 30,000 can tabs at Ronald McDonald House Charities in Charlestown just before Christmas to support sick children and their families.
This is his fourth annual can tab drive since his first in 2022. This year, Walsh brought in about the same number of can tabs from around the North Shore as last year’s drive.
